A British man, Paul Doyle, has been sentenced to 21-and-a-half years in prison following a horrific incident where he drove his car into a crowd during a Liverpool Premier League victory parade. The terrifying act injured more than 130 individuals, provoking public outrage.
Doyle, 54, admitted to 31 criminal charges last month, including nine counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. As Judge Andrew Menary delivered the sentence at Liverpool Crown Court, he condemned Doyle's actions as incomprehensible and egregiously reckless.
The malicious act shattered the festive spirit of over a million fans celebrating Liverpool's triumph. Victims, like Anna Bilonozhenko, spoke of the severe psychological and physical impact, likening the trauma to losing their sense of safety all over again. Doyle expressed remorse through his lawyer, acknowledging the pain caused to many.
